Consolidated Local Union of Businesses or CLUB , represented by Mr Dante Haustraun, was in Sinners Bay on Sunday evening to distribute information about the organisation.
The rather dashing Mr Haustraun, when asked about CLUB and it's activities said
"I'd like your readers to know that they aren't alone, that they don't have to be scared, and that there is hope for them and for this town. Let them know that I'm looking forward to getting to know each and every one of them, and that joining the CLUB is like joining a family; we take care of our own."
Mr Haustraun was of course referring to the recent migration out of Sinners Bay that has left some of the local businesses struggling for clientele in what was once a thriving tourist town… Some attribute this to the lack of police activity and ineptness in apprehending any suspects on the part of law enforcement in the murder of Laura Dreadlow. Others blame it on the wild life and rumoured hauntings.
Whatever the reason - it is clear that Sinners Bay is a town in crisis. Perhaps CLUB holds the rejuvenation the town needs to create a stable economy. Mr Haustraun truly believes that "…A strong union can affect change, but nothing in life comes for free. " as he spoke of the price it would cost local businesses on the margin, to buy into the idea of a union.
"..the reason these businesses haven't seen a customer in weeks is because the town is scared. If they join the CLUB, if they bolster our numbers, and they see the changes taking place, then the customers will return and the businesses will prosper…how can they afford NOT to join the CLUB?' "
In a tough economic year, businesses will want to see results and Mr Haustraun promises that he has hard evidence of similar businesses thriving in places where CLUB has rooted themselves. He further explains "…What happens when one business is burglarised? Nothing. The owner turns to the local police, and nothing is done about it. Now, what happens when all the local businesses turn to the local police and tell them to fix the problem or we'll find ourselves a new private police force? Then you'll see how quickly criminals are caught!"
The watch word here seems to be joint co-operation in putting pressure on the authorities in an organised fashion. Just how successful Mr Haustraun might be in convincing the locals in the bay area that this is the way forward , remains to be seen but it would seem the idea has merit.
More information about CLUB can be attained from the offices of CLUB in Sinners Bay that Mr Haustraun is currently setting up.
